week 30 class 1

Lesson Objectives:

 To differentiate “why” and “Beacause”

Name: ____________________________________ Date: ______________

I. Read the following text.

Recycling is one of the best ways for you to have a positive impact on the world in
which we live. Recycling is important to both the natural environment and us. We
must act fast as the amount of waste we create is increasing all the time.

The amount of rubbish we create is constantly increasing because:

 Increasing wealth means that people are buying more products and
ultimately creating more waste.
 Increasing population means that there are more people on the planet to
create waste.
 New packaging and technological products are being developed, much of
these products contain materials that are not biodegradable.
 New lifestyle changes, such as eating fast food, means that we create
additional waste that isn’t biodegradable.

Environmental Importance
Recycling is very important as waste has a huge negative impact on the
natural environment.

 Harmful che micals and greenhouse gasses are released from rubbish in
landfill sites. Recycling helps to reduce the pollution caused by waste.
 Habitat destruction and global warming are some the affects caused by
deforestation. Recycling reduces the need for raw materials so that the
rainforests can be preserved.
 Huge amounts of energy are used when making products from raw materials.
Recycling requires much less energy and therefore helps to preserve natural
resources.

Importance To People
Recycling is essential to cities around the world and to the people living
in them.

 No space for waste. Our landfill sites are filling up fast, by 2010, almost all
landfills in the UK will be full.
 Reduce financial expenditure in the economy. Making products from raw
materials costs much more than if they were made from recycled products.
 Preserve natural resources for future generations. Recycling reduces the
need for raw materials; it also uses less energy, therefore preserving natural
resources for the future.
